Thanks to you, to Noa, my fellow teachers, Admins, and Takoma's Union Representative/Planetarium Professor.

For part of my final class of Work Styles (this Thursday, 6 Jan from 1 to 4), we are planning to experience our 2021 10-year reunion. We will figure out who is President in 2021--http://www.hillaryclinton.com/ with Nancy http://pelosi.house.gov/ or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Jindal with Eric http://cantor.house.gov/ or ?
We already know that Barbara http://mikulski.senate.gov may still be our "longest serving woman in Congress." We may still be thanking the office of Congressman Chris http://vanhollen.house.gov/ for his job resource page. Montgomery County will still be debating when to build an outer beltway. And maybe the College will have a weekend Farmer's Market in the summers. Who knows?

So, if you'd like to stop by to say "Hi" that would be welcome. You can let your imagination loose. Let us know what you've been up to these last ten years. Maybe, Noa will tell us about the newest programs she has started in the last ten years. I can tell you about my thriving speech pathology practice and the comedy traffic school I run on the side. Or, stop by and tell us about your last bungee jump, latest great-grandchildren, Book Club, and Mah Jong accomplishments.

I have enjoyed working together with you. You can still catch me in my Sunday 9AM - noon class. Or, as a substitute when life gets too crowded.

PS: The reunion idea was inspired by two students--Hafal and Echa--who asked me how they should greet each other if they meet after not having seen each other for many years.
